In the event you missed it, the NY Times of Thursday, March 18th had a special Museums supplement, including an article on plans to update the long range plan for Longwood Gardens, located in the Brandywine Valley of Pennsylvania not far from Philadelphia.
The garden's new director, Paul Redman, told the newspaper that the plan -- not yet complete -- is focused on "bringing Longwood into the 21st century." He hired Lord Cultural Resources of Toronto to help out.
Already, the staff at Longwood has been urged to think of the gardens as a museum and of themselves as curators of the institution. So, for a new exhibit opening April 10th on scent, visitors will see and experience much more than fragrant plants. Link to the entire article here. And obviously, there's much more to come.
